          CARICA CANDAMARCENSIS.
Mountain Papaya. Colombian tree,
smaller than Carica papaya; presumably
hardier, with much smaller, more 
angular fruits of too acid a flavor for
dessert, though very agreeable when
stewed: also used for jams and 
preserves. Ripe fruit has a pleasant,
apple-like odor. Introduced for test of
papain quality and for hybridization
with Carica papaya.

CARICA PAPAYA. Papaya.
Rapid growing fruit tree, reaching
twenty-five feet; in ten months bears
numerous melon-shaped fruits on its
trunk. Good varieties deliciously
sweet with characteristic flavor; 
relished as breakfast fruit. Easily 
digested, containing powerful papain 
ferment. Try as annual in northern
Florida and Texas. Easily grown in
hot-house. Both sexes required.

CARISSA GRANDIFLORA.
South African Amatungulu. A hand-
some apocynaceous spiny shrub with
glossy green leaves, white fragrant
flowers and ovoid scarlet fruits an
inch long. Useful home garden fruit
with a flavor when stewed peculiarly
like that of cranberries. Fruit may
be dried like prunes. A most attractive 
evergreen hedge plant. Stands
clipping well and spines make it quite
impenetrable.
